[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here and thanks for the advice.  My goal right now will be to save money and then look into some new career options for when my youngest begins kindergarten.  My goal is when I am ready to make my move - I have a comfortable amount of money saved to get me started with my own place and a job that can help sustain us.  It is going to take a lot of time- a few years basically- but unfortunately I do not have anywhere to go.   I am just extremely unhappy, but I have to be financially smart about this as I have three kids under the age of three.   They just adore their dad,  but they need a happy mother right?  I just tell myself that my happiness will benefit my children greatly.[/quote]

OP, I’m not sure your timeline is workable. Your youngest cannot be one yet, so you have more than 4 years to make plans but you also have to stay in this situation for four years. That is a long time to be miserable. It may be more financially difficult, but if you get a job now and you have a childcare situation in place (nanny, daycare) then it will be considered in your divorce proceedings that it is something that must still be paid for by both parties, your husband included. If you wait, you will get child support but you may have to figure out how to pay for it in your own. Also, you will get a few years of limited alimony to get yourself back on your feet career wise. It may be better to take this alimony and use the time to rebuild your career post-divorce. [/quote]
